You have to look closely to see the spider’s outline.

Dolophones turrigera is an atypically-shaped, gray-brown arachnid with a cone-shaped body. Brown ornate plates can be seen on the surface of its abdomen, and these help enhance the spider’s twig-like appearance. Each plate or disc has a slit or line at the center. It also has a turret on the upper surface of its abdomen.

This creepy crawler has a concave underside, which allows it to wrap itself around twigs or branches during the day to hide from predators such as wasps and birds. At night, it builds an orb-like web vertically between two trees. The web is taken down before morning.

Overall, a Wrap-around spider’s color and appearance provide a great camouflage when it’s resting on a twig.

This species is typically small. The size of an adult female is approximately 8mm while the male is only 4-5mm. The Dolophones turrigera resembles other Dolophones species such as the Dolophones conifera.

According to the American Academy of Otolaryngology---Head and Neck Surgery, the wax in our ears serves as a self-cleaning agent with protective, lubricating, and antibacterial properties. It traps the dirt and dust particles and prevents them from reaching the eardrum. Without cerumen, our ears would be dry and itchy.

Doctors, specifically the otolaryngologists, advise us to avoid cleaning our ears; the ear canals are capable of doing that on their own. Aided by chewing and jaw movement, old earwax constantly moves from the ear canal to the ear opening where it usually dries, flakes, and falls out. We may then use a cloth to wash the external ear.

Using items such as cotton-tipped applicators or bobby pins are not recommended. These things will only push the wax deeper into the ear canal and lead to cerumen impaction.
